  • This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. Mallence Bart-Williams introduced her second home Sierra Leone and its talented people, who are part of her project FOLORUNSHO. Find out more via www.tedxberlin.de
    Mallence Bart-Williams was born in Cologne, Germany. She is a Sierra Leonean writer and filmmaker and a German fashion designer. She pursued her studies in economics and finance in Paris, Singapore, and Great Britain. Today she lives across the globe, produces an all-natural cosmetics line in Hong Kong, and is the founder and creative director of the Freetown-based creative collective FOLORUNSHO, a ‘SHARITY’ that she initiated with street kids in Sierra Leone.
    Due to her German-Sierra Leonean roots she perceives herself as a bridge connecting two vastly different worlds. Her diverse background enables her to see creative solutions to common problems. Within their three years of operation, her collective has taken homeless children off the streets and into school, developed a sneaker and clothing collection, published a book and documentary of their story, and has held fine art exhibitions. Through her work with FOLORUNSHO she connects cultural contrast, enabling people to share ideas, take action, and get results.
    About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

Because they stole Our Goddess (Woman) and made a God (man). There are the sex changes in the bible! And what? It's written: on Our Spirit and Our Spirit is truth and real.

      The words of this woman give me chills. She is so calm, collected and spirited in every sentence she articulated.
      Let us have more of the western population be invited into her ideas & understanding her perpective. She said the truth.
      I live in a young & progressive country with a more than 500 years history of being colonies 4 major powers of the past & present. No doubt that we are doing a whole lot better than Sierra Leone, there remains elements in society & nature are not in place as they should have been. The west continue to dictate what is good & what is bad according to their perpective; lots of times without regard to our domestic situation.
      Well done Mallence !

      Nzings Dee, that is not how demographic transition works. As your standard of living rises your birth rate will inevitably drop off. As small a thing as a pension system can dramatically reduce birthrate. On the other hand, countries with a lot of conflicts and high level of poverty will almost always have a high birthrate.
      It is not about some mysterious force but logic, a high standard of living and a safe society means that almost all children will survive to adulthood and a healthy pension system means that that you do not have to rely on your children take care of you when get to old to work.
      There is also a tendency that after a conflict the birthrate will rise, like the baby-boomers after the second world war.

    Dear Children of the continent painted as 'failed' -
    We are in a reboot phase, lets all take notes in this period and remember we have far more to offer than they have lead us to believe. Mama Afrika is weeping for the exploitation that has gone on for far too long !!

    One of the best TED lectures I have ever heard. Brilliant message delivered in a devastatingly blunt, mocking and at the same time in a deadpan manner. Rise Africa Rise.

    Where do you get such boldness and guts. Please I need some. And the bluntness even with the audience, this is a wakeup. Damn I salute you

    Beautiful presentation, it's starting to make sense by linking this with Dr Arikana Chihombori, and by listening to the late Robert Mugabe. History is so powerful, I have listened to this many times and I am still learning, love you sis

    A very captivating speech. Not only does Mallence look very passionate about Sierra Leone, she looks very concerned about what the future could bring for Africa... Amazing job delivering your point of view.

    Mallance is the fire that creeps in gently stinging with truth beyond. The lioness that roars with authority. She commands the attention and is truly a Gem!

      Gadaffi tried, and by causing instability among the nations, they caused us to turn against one another. The people of Libya are constantly killing one another to determine who will control the oil plants. As a result of our inability to care for ourselves and our preference for Western countries to assist us, Morocco African nation is being paid to killing thousands of Africans who are fleeing to their shores in search of a better life or sell Africans to arab countries as slaves to work them. UAE, will take your passport as soon as your arrive especially if you came from Africa and some Asian countries. They won't give you an indefinite but you will work in their gulag. These western nations do not even want us to live in their nations. As soon as we cross the sea and onto their lands they will ship you back to Rwanda haha. No wonder Rwandan president doesn't want them because they Rwanda is the new Singapore of Africa.
